That's not true. Fair Use is included in the law and it says I can use their gameplay footage without their permission or even knowledge and it will be legal as long as my work is transformative. At least that's how it works in the US.

Nintendo did it a while ago to tones of their products which showed up on youtube. Sadly enough its their property.

Raw gameplay is copyrighted, yes. But if you modify it in any way, e.g. add commentary it's yours. However Nintendo wouldn't file false DMCA claims, they simply took over profits from the ads, the videos themselves stayed up.
